I have heard of two types of healers but not that they are related to our First Nations and magical powers nor inherited specifically from male to female descendants.
There has been documented 'curings' by; a) le 7ieme d'un 7ieme, (the 7th son of a 7th son), but their healing powers apparently varied from removing fevers to more elaborate cures and by apparently by absorbing the pain into themselves. and b) 'blood stoppers' for lack of a better term when a man or a woman could stop the flow of blood by placing their hands above/over an injury without the use of pressure or bandages, this type was less documented and often heard of in our 'verbal' village histories as late as the early 1950's.
